Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 nationwide create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. This 50+ year-old program helps them explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life.
The 2025-2026 Reflections theme is "I Belong!"
Students can earn prizes and recognition for expressing their creativity. Each submission must be accompanied by a completed Submission Form. Turn in artwork by uploading it to the form or by bringing it to the McGaugh office.
